Back to School: Two Educational Grants Awarded!
We are pleased to announce that we have awarded two educational grants to members of the Baldwin-Whitehall School District.

Tamara Rellick, first grade teacher at Paynter Elementary School, received a grant for $1,000 to introduce coding to her classroom with the Dot and Dash Robot Wonder Pack. The tool will provide students with an innovative way to explore problem solving and critical thinking through computer programming.
"The robots would show our students an innovative technology as well as broaden our scope of STEM education in the classroom," Rellick said. "First graders will write code in an innovative way while exploring mathematical processes." Baldwin Bean, the new student-managed coffee shop at Baldwin High School, has received a $2,000 grant for the installation of electronics such as digital signage, charging stations, and an online ordering system. The coffee shop will give students hands-on experience with money and inventory management, customer service, and accounting.
"This will provide an opportunity to take what students are learning in the classroom and put it into action in a real-world environment," said Eric Jankoski, transition coordinator at Baldwin High School and manager of the Baldwin Bean project. |
